The Beginning Of the End,

The beginning of disease is slight
debility or disorder Of some of the
vital organs, the stomach, the liver
or the bowels usually. There are
dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney
and unhealthy looking, there are
pains in the right side or though the
right shoulder blade. The climax is
often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in
time with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which is always effective as a
remedy, and it should be resorted to
at an early stage, there will be no
reason to apprehend those injurious
subsequent effects upon the system,
often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it, also, to en-
ploy this safe remedial agent in fever
and ague, and other malarial COM
plants, than quinine and other
potent drugs. which, even when
they do prove effectual for time,
ruin the stomach and impair the
general health. jy9,4t.

ROUGH ON HIS BROTHER.


Louisville special: A romantic
marriage took place this morning in
Jacksonville before Esquire Ware.
William Brown and Mary Sanders
were the contracting parties. They
claim their home in Nelson county,
fourteen miles from Bardstown.
The groom is about 80 years Of age
and the bride is sweet Is. Brown
wore jeans pants that struck him
about the knees. His coat looked
like the remnant of soldier coat.
The brides dress was of bright red,
but looked as if 1t had been worn
many years. On her bosom she
wore sunfower of the largest size.
1t appears that Browns brother,
Sam, and Mary were to have eloped
at the same time as William and her
sister. In order to throw off suspi-
cion the girls were exchanged.
Mary went with William and her
sister with Sum. They eloped We'd
nesday night. They had got but a
short distance from the home of the
girls when their father learned of
their departure. He started in pur-
suit on horseback, and overlook
them about four miles from home.
They were in buggies, and the old
man grabbed the horse in the rear
buggy by the head. Seeing the pre-
dicament they were in the foremost
couple gave whip to the horse and
were soon out of sight. They could
not go back to hunt the other pair,
SO, after talking the matter over,
they concluded that they would get
married and make it all right with
the other party when they got back.
They did not seem to be bothered
about it, and when asked if there
would not be trouble when they
went home, the groom said:
''No guess not. Both girls are
about alike, but | never went to see
this one. / will make it all right
with Sam when get home"

There are several families about
town, not overstocked with an
abundance OF this worlds goods
either, who persist, for some unac-
countable reason, In keeping three or
four stump-tailed, crop-eared, bench
legged cur dogs, which, If they
were fed by their owners, would
consume more than the families to
which they belong. AS 1t Is they

chiefly supported on what belongs

tranquil evening when the tired man

in the habit of "making night
hideous" with discordant sounds,
during their internal and diabolical
orgies. A case of this sort occurred
on last Tuesday night when the
house of certain quiet and inoffen-
sive citizen on Franklin street was
beseiged by about fifteen or twenty
of these bowling, snarling, swapping,
fighting demons. Sleep was out OF
the question under the circumstances,
and we are not informed but we
conjecture the good man must have
been strongly tempted to use, If he
did not use, copious bible phrase
ology under the provocation. How.
ever, he bore it as patiently as he
could and as long as he could, hoping
they would 90 away after a while
4 But he only realized "the pangs O.
hope deferred" They didn't &c

Reforming the Party.
-, AZ E,s,on !cyar

From the EaStOn Star.
Much is being said at this time about re-
forming the Democratic party in this State
We are for reforming, purifying and strength
ening it, and for making it fully meet every
reasonable want of the people. If there is
any corruption in the elections in Baltimore
or elsewhere, we are in for correcting It, and
for removing all cause of complaint. But we
are opposed to putting at the head OF the
party the soreheads and disaffected, who have
been making trouble in the party for years
past and doing all they could to disorganize
It. These men have not the confidence Of the
party and could not defeat the Republicans,
if they had the management of the party
organization. They can tear down but they
cannot build up. They can sow disorder, but
they cannot harmonic discordant elements.
At the head of the party organization, they
would be like fish out Of water, or more pro-
perly, like bulls in china store. Such men
can only lead the party to disaster, and ii
would be disastrous in the extreme to change
| the management of the party and entrust II
1 in their hands, What We want is an organl-
cation to defeat the Republicans, and this we
have done, and can continue to do, under the
present management. a change would be
| like putting to sea in an open boat without
rudder or compass, and the Democrats of this
State are not going to take any such perilous
risk. If there is anything wrong about the
party, or the affairs Of the State, let them be
specifically pointed out, and let every Demo
crat pledge his honor that the wrong shall be
corrected This is business that the people
can understand and will sustain; but let us
first and foremost, and at all times, keep III
view in all we do, that the paramount duty
of every Democrat is to defeat the Republl-
cans and keep them ont of power in this
! State

York, struck on Thursday morning, and the
shipping is all ut standstill. Vessels, for
eign and coastwise, are idle, and no steam.

filed with freight of all sorts, and everything
:s ct a stand STILL while confusion and profan-
ity reign supreme. How long this state of
things will last It is impossible to foretel!. 1t
is terrible obstruction of the commerce OF

A Woman's Awful Fall.
She Goes over Precipice Four Hundred Feet
High.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Mrs. I. J. Townsley,
the Chicago lady who was an occupant of the
stage coach that toppled distance of 400
feet down Independence Pass, Colorado, last
month, without sustaining as much as scratch,
arrived in this city yesterday. Mrs. Towns
ley is prepossessing young lady about %
years of age.
Describing the marvellous incident, the de-
tails of which have not been printed, she says:
sat daybreak on the morning of December
16 / was awakened at my hotel in Leadville
and informed that the Aspen stage coach was
waiting for me. 1t was bitter cold and was
showing so heavily that the driver had to pilot
me to the coach. had on heavy double
fold velvet dress, a sealskin sacque, buffalo
robe pinned over my shoulders, my head COW

shawl, allowing an aperture for my eyes.
Despite all these projections | was frightfully
cold. The coach was drawn by six horses
and was on wheels. We were preceded by
the Granite coach, which was on runners.
The road over Elk Mountain is a natural one
that will admit of but single coach passing.
At the apex the mountain the Granite coach
halted in a station blasted out of the rock and
let us go ahead. Then the descent began.
''The road at this point runs at decline of
45 degrees. The driver put on his lock chain
to the wheels, thus virtually converting them
to runners. Despite these precautions and by
its own weight the coach went down fright
fully fast. We could barely keep our seats.
We balanced ourselves as best We could.
Running up from the truck and through the
box Of the coach was perpendicular bar of
steel called the king pin. chung to this and
managed to keep myself right side up. Down
the narrow path in the side of the mountain
we went with the horses in a mad gallop to
keep the coach from running them down.
''We were rounding Independence Pass,
when suddenly the driver cried Jump!

sentence. He had been holding the coach as
near the embankment as the narrow pass
would permit. Ahead of him he saw a heavy
boulder topple and fall 6saiR The. mountain

The ADVOCATE is always prompt to recog-
nize merit, and two weeks ago noted the I'M
movement in the EHicott City Times under its
new management. The notice was reproduc-
ed in the Times with these remarks by the
editor:
No compliment ofthe hundreds which have
been lavished upon us has been as heartily
anpreciated as this. We say this because the
editors of the ADVOCATE know that it is nc
easy task to gather all the news of even SO
small county as Howard, and they also know
how difficult it is to serve up this news IN a
manner that is interesting to the readers OF a
naner. < = + i Let us return to the ADyo-
CATE for minute. We do not believe in this
I.tickle-you you tickle me business, in which
many newspapers extensively engage, but
candor compeis US to say that the ADVOCATE
is the ideal country newspaper. 1t is unne,
cessary for to say this. Its readers know ital-
ready. 1t has furnished us with many excellent
suggestions in the management ofTHE FINES,
and we have benefited by them. For &C,
curacy. fairness, typographical elearness, and
eonciseness it has no superior in Maryland,
and may it and its editors 'liye long and
prosper
